🎭 First Folio's And Neither Have I Wings to Fly features strong performances, despite a somewhat dated script.-Kelly Kleiman
, and it’s showing its age. There are plots and subplots and Irish-lit tropes like a storytelling session apropos of nothing, but none of these achieves warp, or even tarantella, speed. As the dutiful daughter Evie, self-martyred with an undercurrent of rage at her stay-at-home fate, Hayley Rice carries the show, and the moment when she tells her mother’s ghost that “What you could have done to make me happy is to die!” is absolutely scalding.
Through 2/26: Wed 8 PM, Thu 3 PM, Fri 8 PM, Sat 4 and 8 PM, Sun 3 PM; open captions Sat 2/11 4 PM and Fri 2/17 8 PM; First Folio Theatre, Mayslake Peabody Estate, 1717 31st St., Oak Brook, 630-986-8067,But these actors have an unfair advantage, as their characters have the heft of real people. The rest of the cast struggles with the cardboard cut-outs they’ve been assigned: The Spoiled Daughter, The Boring Fiance, The Charming Rover, The Stern But Largely Absent Father.
